In vocabulary instruction in my ABE class, I try to give students a chance to use the vocabulary in useful ways and to make personal connections to the words as much as possible. Last week's words were taken from a story we read in class. We added an additional word each day drawn from the newspaper.
Here are some example questions from last week's quiz. Students write responses using the words in complete sentences.
1. Tell about someone you know who was a victim of either a crime or an accident.
2/3. If you stop working hard toward your mission, would this show persistence? Why or why not?
4. Who is someone you think is a good role model? What makes you think so?
5. Tell about one obstacle you have faced in your life.
6. When you have depleted the food in your home, what do you have to do?
7. Why might someone be evicted from a public park?
8. If the people in a workplace come from many different countries and speak a variety of languages, would this be an example of diversity? Why or why not?
